minutes. Place in an ovenproof dish. Add stock and sprinkle with salt,
pepper and nutmeg. Dot with butter and bake for 30 minutes on a low

remove
excess moisture. Whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder. Combine
flour mixture into raw potatoes, mashed potatoes, and eggs. Add enough
mix to make a batter. Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat and add
butter or oil. Drop potato batter by the tablespoon into the hot pan.
Brown on both sides (about 4 minutes per side). Butter each boxty and
serve hot with or without sugar. Makes 4 servings

In a large, deep "non-aluminum" heavy skillet or seasoned cast
iron
Dutch oven, combine the shredded cabbage, apple cider vinegar,
cinnamon, cloves, sugar, sea salt, and fresh water. Bring to a gentle
boil. Place the quartered apples over the shredded red cabbage, cover
the
skillet, and cook this mixture gently for about 30 minutes, or until
the red cabbage is tender and the apples have turned very soft into a
pulp.
After cooking 20 minutes, partially uncover the skillet, so most of the
cooking liquid evaporates.
Stir the delicious and tangy mixture, adjust the taste with seasoning.
Add more salt and freshly ground pepper as per taste.

Place julienned lemon zest in a small bowl. Let it soak in
whiskey
overnight. The next day, preheat oven to 350°F .Grease a 9 inch
cake pan. Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy
and then whisk in the eggs. Sift the flour and add to the butter
mixture together with the salt. Stir to blend. Fold in the ground
almonds. Strain the whiskey, discarding the zest, and stir the whiskey
into the batter. Pour into the prepared pan, and bake for about one
hour, until golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes
out clean. 10 servings

Sift flour, salt, ginger and sugar. Rub in the fat. Add eggs

greased pie dish with the pastry. Grate the apples and sprinkle onto
the pastry. Dot with butter. Sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg over top.
Bake in a moderate oven for 1/2 hour. Serve hot with custard.

Cream together butter and confectioners' sugar in a large
bowl. Beat in
vanilla and egg extract. Mix well. In a medium sized bowl, stir
together the flour, baking soda and cream of tartar. Blend into the
butter mixture. Divide dough into thirds and shape them into balls.
Taking 1/3 of the dough at a time, roll out dough to 1/4 inch thick on
a floured surface. With a knife, cut dough into rectangles about 2
inches high by 3 inches long. (6 x 8 cm). Place rectangles on an
ungreased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart. Bake in a preheated 350 degree
F (175 degrees C) oven until they turn light brown. Cool completely on
a wire rack. Frost cookies with Irish Flag Frosting. Make a 1 inch
green stripe on the left side of the rectangles and a 1 inch orange
strip on the right side, leaving the middle one inch unfrosted. Top
